We affirm that all things were created by God. Angels were created as ministering agents, though some, under the leadership of Satan, fell from their sinless state to become agents of evil. The universe was created in six historical days and is continuously sustained by God; thus it both reflects His glory and reveals His truth. Human beings were directly created, not evolved, in the very image of God. As reasoning moral agents, they are responsible under God for understanding and governing themselves and the world.

A self-proclaimed evolutionary biologist like Dr Peterson ought to find that at least a little troubling.

Also, isn’t part of his shtick that social hierarchies are natural? For a person like me, my problem with that is it’s an illogical argument. (Just because something is natural doesn’t make it good.) But they’re rejecting his premise outright. You’d think that should bother him.
But I think we darn well know that he worked backwards, starting with his conclusion (whatever it may be) and then found premises to support it and so he’s not really bothered by this because it’s the conclusion he values, not the process in which one reached it.

hard to believe your legitimately puzzled by the alliance. just the other day you made a video about peterson’s campaigns against some canadian trans politician. liberty is the same school whose president (falwell) endorsed trump during the campaign. clearly the school can swallow something “bad” like politicians affairs or humanism when it politically aligns with other things

This is no surprise.
I’ve been saying for a long time that Jordan Peterson has taken his rightful place on the far right wingnut edge of the lunatic fringes.
He’s in there with Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, any number of fundie xian televangelists, and Fox NoNews hosts.

He isn’t even trying to pretend to be an academic any more.
He isn’t even trying to pretend to be coherent or right any more either.

I wonder what the U of T trustees are thinking at the moment? Four or five million Cdn?

Probably what I’m thinking. In reverse.
Peterson is just a conperson and a routine hate merchant.
Why do we even let people like him and Gavin McInnes (Proud Boys leader) into our (USA) country.
We have our own problems with our own right wingnut extremists and terrorists.

Of course it was overwhelmingly welcoming, students there aren’t allowed to be unwelcoming towards whatever right-wing propagandists get an invite, despite its name Liberty University is one of the most authoritarian administrations in the goddamn continent.

You’d think a frozen peach warrior like Jordan would have a problem with that, but I guess that would require right-wingers’ stance on free speech to not be transparently hypocritical.

I wonder what he thought of their Creation Studies department or their doctrinal statement?

More interesting to me is what Liberty U thought of Peterson. His evo-psych woo-woo doesn’t really fit with their six-24-hour-days-a-few-thousand-years-ago thing. But, strangely, Lobsterdoc got a warm welcome. It’s almost like both religious fundamentalism and lobstrology are simply rationalizations for supporting reactionary and authoritarian policies.
